I was excited to get this player. I had been waiting a long time for one that had a good set of features and a reasonable price. Overall, in the 2 weeks I've had it, I've really loved it. I'll go over the good and the bad of this Blu-ray player.First the bad: The remote, like all Sony remotes, are very basic. It handles the Blu-ray player functions fine. It also has built in TV remote functions as well. I have a Sony Bravia TV that is about 2 years old. However the remote doesn't work for about half of the functions, making this remote useless for controlling the TV. The remote can be set to a handful of TV brands. You would think that it could at least handle a Sony TV properly. NOTE: When registering the device on the Sony site, this model is not listed (as of this review). I selected the model S570 instead and that worked for me. When playing a Netflix movie, one time the movie locked up the player. It didn't respond to the remote, then completely restarted itself. Of course it didn't remember where it had stopped in the movie and I had to search to find where I was to finish the movie. Hopefully this doesn't happen often. At the time of this review DLNA has not been included with the player and will be available later, so I could not test this out. Being that it isn't relly a new thing, you would think that they'd have this already included. AVI file playback is only avalable to Canada players. The buttons on this box are tiny and the labelling is just as small and hard to read. Pale white print on black is always hard to read. In a dark area it is nearly impossible, even with the little light that it shines on the lower button panel, so using the remote is the way to go. Don't forget it when you go to load a disc.Read more ›

Hello, all. This is a 9 min video review for the Sony BDP-S470. I made it because I thought most people looking for speed and performance in there players would be impressed by this one. Because amazon limits the size and length of the videos, the quality in this one isn't all that great. Also if you want to see the Netflix connectivity in use I posted that video on Youtube. Needless to say, I'm very impressed with the build quality and performance of this product, and I think you will be too. Hope this review is helpful.

The player loads fast and looks amazing. Very happy with this purchase. Not 100% sold on the Xross menu layout, can be a bit counter intuitive at first, but you can pick it up quick enough.

The picture quality is ridiculous. This player really cranks through some heavy scenes. I have a 1080i and a 1080P TV in my home and it looks damn near perfect on the 1080i and better than real life on the 1080P.

The Dobly/dts audio tracks are earth shattering. I have yet to upgrade to a True HD compatible receiver but it handles the lossy 5.1 tracks beautifully.

The streaming capabilities all look and sound great (wired directly too the ethernet port). I noticed none of the Netflix streaming issues I have heard about on past Sony BDPs (HD streaming Netflix looks as good if not better than most upscaled DVDs on this system, and that is not a crack on upscaled DVDs). I really hope that we get Pandora soon on the Sony players.

"BD Remote" for iPhone works flawlessly (so far) and is a great secondary remote for when Im too lazy to reach for the remote on the coffee table.

You will need a USB flash drive if you want to access any BD Live content (no onboard memory). I have yet to dl any BD Live stuff but speaking of USB drives, streaming music/videos off of them looks/sounds great. Note about USB drives, dont buy a "U3" enabled flash drive. I had no idea what the hell U3 was and didnt even know I purchased such an option until the player refused to recognize it. After much frustration and good ol' "google research" I figured out my mistake.

This player is also 3D ready, which seems silly and all but its nice to feel like I have a little bit of security if I happen to find it in the budget to upgrade any time soon.Read more ›

This is a great entry level BD player. Great price for all the features. Plug-and-play setup. My only complaint is its insistence on using a Sony wireless adapter - I plugged in several name-brand ones and they were all rejected as incompatible. The Sony wireless adapter is almost half the price of the player itself - a travesty when every other wireless USB adapter out there is $20. Ultimately I ran a cat-5 ethernet cable to it and it worked fabulously. The menu's user interface is a little goofy and takes a minute to get used to, but the content is rich.

So all blue-ray players play blue-ray and DVDs. That is, if not they are broken. So the only reason to buy one over the other is the other things that come with the player (i.e. ease of use, additional functions, connectivity, etc).

On the positive side the player loads quickly, its intuitive, easy connectivity to my wired network, easy connection to Netflix, the remote has an eject button, and yes it plays blue-ray and standard DVDs.

But past that I'm very disappointed in Sony. Sony is usually a leader in functionality and ease of use but they clearly missed the boat on this one. Here are my main issues.

The implementation of functionality around playing videos, music, and photos from a PC on the network is poor. Does it play MP3 files and playlists, yes. But there is not a choice to play music in random order and all information stored in the ID3 tags isn't displayed or available for display. How hard is it to offer playback in random order and display simple things like album, album cover, or even lyrics. If its stored give us the option. Also, there is no way to play a playlist while showing a photo slide show.

Picasa is not supported for photo play back.

I plugged in an external hard drive and the player very nicely told me it wasn't supported but no where in the manual does it explain what format is supported. I'll figure it out as I am fairly computer savvy but how hard would it have been to specify the supported format in the manual.

Lastly there are so many choices for video sources (e.g. Netflix, Amazon, etc) that there needs to be a way to remove or hide certain choices. I don't speak spanish so having a spanish movie choice is useless yet I still have to scroll through many many choices.

SONY - IF YOU ARE LISTENING THINK FIRMWARE UPGRADE AS ALL THESE FEATURES ARE NOT HARD TO ADD ... YOU CAN DO BETTER.
